Having a good time does not always require money. Every 1st Tuesday of the month, San Diego Botanic Garden offers free admission to San Diego County residents.
I wasn't sure these photos of this dragonfly would turn out well because of the cloudy day but decided to try and see what would happen. Glad I did because I was pleased by the wonderful results.
I love walking in my garden with my camera. Resting on my day lily, was this beautiful dragonfly. Anyone else besides me like dragonflies?
I found this rare species of dragonfly and managed to capture using my new Canon EOS 550D
Dragonflies arrived in the garden more than 300 million years ago-a mere 70 million years before the earliest known dinosaur. With expert hunting skills and the ability to fly at speeds over 30 mph, it's not surprising that their species have been able to achieve such longevity.
I saw this little one setting on a flower pot. I just had to get the camera, and get a shot of him.
I came home and as I was walking down the driveway, I could see this huge dragonfly near the front door. Luckily, I had my camera with me and I got few shots of it before it flew away.
Another walk in my garden with camera in hand, looking for what will surprise me today. Look what I found perched on one of my garden stakes.
This dragonfly has been visiting my peach tree for a couple of days now. I just love the picture!
We watched this dragonfly land and leave 3 times in a few minutes. We figured he wanted his picture taken.
